On 16th March 2025, a customer from India inquired about solar panels recycling plant setup. He was planning to establish a solar panels recycling plant and was currently in the process of evaluating reliable technology providers and equipment manufacturers. And he wanted us to provide him with best quotation and detailed proposal for setting up the plant. For this, we recommend him the photovoltaic panels disposal line with 1 T/H capacity. The following are the specific details of our communication in this case:
What is the layout of a 1000KG/H Solar Panels Recycling Plant?
The Indian solar panels recycler required the lower cost solution. So, the layout of a standard 1000kg/h solar panels recycling plant adopt mechanical photovoltaic panel recycling system. The main solar panel recycling process flow contains 6 parts. Solar panels dismantling → single shaft shredder → hammer mill → turbine grinding unit → gravity separator → electrostatic separator. In this setup,
ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿಯಾಗಿ, there are also supporting equipment such as conveyors, dust collectors, and a control system integrate the whole solar panel recycling line.
Cost analysis of 1000kg/h solar panel recycling plant starting
ಆಗ, this customer asked about the price of this mechanical solar panel recycling plant. Establishing a 1000 kg/h solar panel recycling facility requires not only equipment investment but also supporting expenses such as installation, commissioning, training, and operational costs. Below is a breakdown of the key cost components.
Equipment and Installation Costs
The main equipment package, including dismantling, crushing, separation, and dust collection systems, generally ranges from $70,000-$250,000 depending on automation level and recovery efficiency. And installation involves mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, and civil foundation work. In India, this typically adds 10%–15% of equipment cost, equal to about $7,000-$37,500. ಆಗ, additional expenses may include conveyors, storage silos, and environmental protection units (dust collectors, water treatment). This may require $10,000-$30,000 depending on customization.
Commissioning and Training
Commissioning ensures the plant operates at full capacity with stable output quality. This phase usually costs $5,000-$10,000, covering test runs, calibration, and performance optimization. And staff training is critical to ensure safe and efficient operation. Training programs provided by equipment suppliers can cost $3,000-$6,000, including manuals, on-site sessions, and safety workshops.
Operational and Facility Costs
For a medium-sized industrial facility of around 500–800 m² in an Indian industrial zone, monthly rent is typically $1,500-$3,000, varying by city (higher in Mumbai or Delhi, lower in tier-2 cities). And a small plant may require 8-12 workers, with monthly wages per person around $250-$400. Routine maintenance costs usually equal 3%–5% of equipment cost annually. ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿಯಾಗಿ, power consumption for shredding, crushing, and separation may reach 150–200 kWh per ton of panels. At an Indian average electricity rate of $0.10 per kWh, energy costs can be $15-$20 ಪ್ರತಿ ಸ್ವರಕ್ಕೆ.
When combining equipment, installation, commissioning, training, and the first year of rent and operation, the overall investment for a 1000 kg/h plant in India is expected to fall between $120,000-$350,000. This range depends on technology level, location, and environmental compliance requirements.
How long can we receive the machines for solar panel recycling plant setup?
ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ, the customer asked about solar panel recycling equipment delivery time to Nhava Sheva Port, Mumbai. For this, because of 1000kg/h solar panel recycling machines manufacturing, it usually needs 35-50 days. ಇಲ್ಲಿ,we can notify you when the solar panel recycling equipment is finished and provide real- time shipping information.
The above are details about our communication with the customer about 1000kg/h solar panel recycling plant start in India. ಹೆಚ್ಚುವರಿಯಾಗಿ, we can also provide you with many other e-waste recycling plans. Such as lithium battery recycling process, waste tire recycling plan, plastic pyrolysis plant, ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ. Welcome to contact us for best solution for your e-waste recycling plants now!
